- 9 is in the tenths place and 9 is in the hundredths place
- Since the digit in the hundredths place (9) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9)
- 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the ones place (0)
- 1 + 0 = 1, so the digit in the ones place becomes 1
- The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped
- 0.994 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 1.0
